A hard money loan is an asset-based loan through which a borrower receives funds secured by real property.

ResCap understands your business because our partners have flipped over 1,000 properties and are still in the business themselves. We fund loans up to 100% of 70% of ARV and will approve your loan in an expedient manner. We have rehab and lending experts on the ground in the markets we serve.

You can apply to be pre-approved based on your credit and financial statement with or without a property under contract.

ResCap understands that we all have to start someplace so we will consider people with little or no experience. In these cases, we will typically be looking for a little higher credit score and some more liquid capital to qualify. We will also want to know you are working with an experienced contractor. New investors will be limited to one deal at a time with low to moderate repairs.

We will supply a Proof of Funds Letter once you have been pre-qualified by ResCap. There is NO COST to get pre-qualified.

ResCap orders the appraisal.

The approval of a loan usually takes about 2 business days. Once approved, all we need is a valid appraisal, clear title and evidence of insurance to close the loan. On average, a loan that is submitted can fund within 14 days.

The interest rate is 10%. ResCap charges a $700 appraisal and processing fee, a $1,000 document preparation fee and an origination fee of 3 points. The origination fee, otherwise known as points, can be rolled into the loan.

A point refers to the origination fee charged by a lender in a real estate transaction with 1 point equaling 1% of the amount of the loan.

It means that you don’t have to pay the points at origination. We include them in your loan.

We charge interest on the funded note amount. Unlike some other lenders, we will not charge interest on repair funds until they are drawn.

100% of purchase and repair costs up to 70% of After Repaired Value (ARV) for experienced investors or 65% of ARV for newer investors. We will consider properties over 70% (65% for newer investors), but you will need to make up the difference at origination.

After Repaired Value is the fair market value of the house after you have made the repairs to the home contemplated by your fix-and-flip business plan.

We confirm the ARV against the appraisal and use either 70% or 65% of the appraised value, depending on borrowers experience.

ResCap makes loans between $75,000 and $1,500,000.

We check your credit, financial strength and industry experience and provide you with a Proof of Funds letter.

Credit issues alone will not prevent a borrower from qualifying for a loan; however, the liquidity and experience of the borrower will need to be even stronger if there are credit issues to consider with the loan request.
